British Airways in response to the closure of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja from March 8, 2017, has provided options to its passengers as it has cancelled all Abuja flights during the period.
“We have been informed that the runway at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja will be closed for extensive repairs between March 7, 2017 and April 19, 2017.
Unfortunately this means that we have to cancel all flights to/from the airport for that period of time. Customers who are affected are being contacted and offered a choice of three options.
The passengers could go for full refund , rebook their flight to/from Abuja to an alternative date when the airport is open (before or after the runway repairs have been undertaken) or rebook their flight to/from Abuja to/from an alternative city of Lagos or Accra.
“We are awaiting more information from the authorities in Nigeria and at this stage we hope that we can restart our normal flight schedules from Heathrow to Abuja on the evening of April 19 and from Abuja to Heathrow the following morning on April 20, 2017. We will update this story as we receive more information about the runway repairs in the coming weeks,” the airline said.
